Anyone who lives in a home valued at \u00a32m or more in England will face a council tax surcharge from April 2028.<\/p>\n
There will be four price bands with the surcharge rising from \u00a32,500 for a property valued in the \u00a32m to \u00a32.5m band, to \u00a37,500 for a property valued in the highest band of \u00a35m or more<\/p>\n
While known as a mansion tax, it may also capture homes in expensive areas, and will be levied on about 100,000 properties, primarily in London and south east England.<\/p>\n
The move will require the valuation of homes in the top council tax bands – F, G and H – for the first time since 1991.<\/p>\n
